So you've met a horrible Celtic fan? I've got a similar story; I once met a horrible Aberdeen fan...

[Football] Gerrard Confirmed as Villa Boss

Had an email from a Villa supporting chum today:
Very sorry for Smith, as he was a life long supporter himself and a decent man, but it became clear he could not match the owners' ambitions and he could not take them to the level they aspired to.
Gerrard is a bit of a gamble, Purslow will be gone too if it does not work. Hopefully he will sort out the midfield which is the serious issue, as I mentioned some time back we always struggle against the clogging sides as we have no physical presence, no enforcer. Clearly if SG is successful he will have his eyes on the Liverpool job, by which time hopefully we will be upper middle of table and can call upon a "name" manager to take over for the next stage of this saga.
I think what clinched it was the experience he and his team had bringing through and developing the Liverpool youngsters.
Don't think the players will have such an easy ride as they got under Smith. But still fancy a Brighton away win.

It's no use; I've read that three times and still don't get it...
I think they're commenting on your use of 'and the men were just as bad' - which is, as pointed out, a pretty old joke! But still funny.

Yep, and neither is Brendan Rodgers! But the game seems to be calling out Scottish OF managers who have failed in England!

You couldn’t make it up
Do you regard our friendly fun French friends referring to us as 'les rosbeefs' to be offensive abuse?

Is referring to them as Jocks, offensive?
Only one of them can confirm that…….

My post was more amused than intended as anything ‘outraged’ or ‘scream for a policeman’

Hard to tell these days, the slightest thing is now considered monumentally offensive without even knowing it.
Eeeeeeee . Don't be roping us Lanarkshire Lads in with those Glezga Nut jobs
I had in mind:
Bellshill/Motherwell/Wishaw.
Airdrie/Coatbridge.
Always huge followings for the Gers and Bhoys, traditionally down sectarian lines.

Exactly my area. I'm from Uddingston.
You F@anian or Pr@ddy b’stard.
I am neither. I rebelled against all that shit as my Mother was Protestant and my Dad was Catholic

The stuff of nightmares, you go to bed the Villa manager, wake up the Norwich manager.

Is this really a step up for Gerrard ?
Yes, unequivocally.
Bad news for us too - Potter likes to plan for each match, I think, and would surely have had a plan to deal wiyh Dean Smith's Villa. Now, Gerrard will have had a week to work with his new team (and he's no mug!), and Potter will have no way of knowing what to expect, what to plan to counteract.
A draw would now be a good result I think, unfortunately.
